I'm 17 yrs old, size 36E. Are my Breasts Tubular?

From the photo that you provided, it does not appear that you have tubular or tuberous breasts.  It looks like you would benefit from a breast lift with a little reduction in size.  After discussing it with your parents, set up a consultation with one or more qualified Plastic Surgeons in your area. Good Luck. 

Dear Anonya,

You do NOT have tubular breasts. They look a little large and are sagging a bit. A small reduction and lift may be helpful. Discuss this with your parents and see a board certified plastic surgeon in your area. Good luck.

Your breasts do not look tuberous from the angle of your photo.  Even if that were the case, this is not an insurance case that would be "Covered."

Quite often, teenager swill come to my office with sagging breast like yours without any history of weight loss or pregnancy. Your shape and size is the result of genetics and puberty. The discomfort you experience is common and understandable.

A Lejour Vertical scar lift and reduction can give you an excellent result with a lift, reduction and sexy shape with minimal scars.

Another consideration is nipple sensation and your ability to breast feed. The lejour is great on both points. Discuss with your family and then sek out a great surgeon with Lejour experience in your area.

Good Luck!

It is a bit difficult to see from the photos posted but I agree that it does not look like you have tuberous breasts.  You may need a breast reduction/ breast lift once you have stopped growing.  Sometimes insurance will cover this procedure.  Ask your parents to help you do research and find a good, qualified surgeon for you.

A tubular breast is all nipple and areola with a very constricted base.  Your breasts have a degree of sagging and your nipples are pointing outward.  Depending upon your height and weight you may be a good candidate for a breast reduction.   Before considering surgical options you need to be sure that your breasts are not still growing.   Allow your breast size to be stable for about one year then you may be a good candidate for a breast reduction.   You have to understand that a breast reduction can not be done without making scars.  A consultation with a plastic surgeon will help you understand your options.  

Hello,

The best way to tell if you have constricted breasts or tubular breasts is to look at the lower breast folds.  The photo should be parallel with your nipples/areolas and should also include a photo from the side.   It is likely that you do not have tubular breasts from the photo provided but that they are in need of some shaping by a breast lift with or wothout a breast reduction.  Once the nipple and areolas are positioned properly and the breast shaped accordingly I think you would likely be very happy with their appearence.

All the best,

You do not have tubular breasts and are not a candidate for corrective surgery. You might benefit from a small reduction and lift but this is not something insurance would cover if that is what you are hoping.

Your breasts are NOT tubular, they are normal for that size. There is nothing wrong with them, perhaps if they are too big, you could have them made smaller. Talk to your parents and see a board certified plastic surgeon.
 

Your breast do not appear to be tubular,although the photo does not allow me to see the breasts completely. You would potentially be a good candidate for surgery on your breasts but as to what the best treatment would be it is difficult to say with the photos here. In any case there are  a number of options , in addition you should discuss this with your parents as you are presently a minor.
